I hope this thread is still alive in about 1.5 weeks when I can post pictures of my .22lr 1911.
Rimfire Pictures!

usp9,
Nice Walther; I like the TPH, but they always seem to bite me.
That American Arms looks a lot like a Iver Johnson TP22 I had years ago
How's that Firestorm FS22 working out for you?
Regards,
Greg

Yes, the TPH can bite. I have a small hand so it seldom happens though. I love shooting this gun. It is a lot of fun.
The Iver Johnson TP22, American Arms PX22, and Excam RX22 are the same gun. I'm not sure all parts are 100% interchangable though. This one is quite accurate.
The FS22 is relatively new. Some bulk ammo, Remmington I think, has been misfeeding, but old reliable mini-mags feed fine. It is a fun plinker. I still would like to find a Beretta 87 or Walther PP for fun, but at $225 the Firestorm is at least cheap. Quality wise the Firestorm reminds me of the Walther P22, (and that is not a compliment).

My turn!
My turn to post my new rimfire pistol. And just to rub it in this is a model that we can get up here north of the 49th but that isn't imported into the US.
It's a Tanfoglio (think EAA Witness lineup) Force 22. It's a lightweight with a polymer frame and magazines and an anodized aluminium slide with a proper steel barrel.
I've put 500 rounds of CCI standard velocity through it and it's shooting like a champ. Any issues with the target in the background are due to the sloppiness, newbieness and general body failings of the operator. Actually most of the target points shown aren't bad for my current abilities. The bigger IPSC diamond on the left was shot with double taps.... at least MY version of double taps which is pretty darned slow... As for the rest those were seriously aimed groupings that show a little of what the gun can do. This target having been shot at around 12 yards.
What I like about this pistol over a lot of others that I tried was the fact that it has some kick to it so it's excellent for my chosen game of IPSC, IDPA and other run and gun events that I'm looking to do this coming season. The little bit of kick not only gives me practice in regaining my sight picture after each shot but it adds to the fun of shooting.
The fact that the frame angle and feel is extremely close to my CZ SP-01 Shadow just adds to the excellence of this pistol as a great practice gun for me.

How do you like that Izh-35m? I've often thought about getting one, swapping for a heavier recoil spring for high vedlocity ammunition, putting more conventional grips on it and using it for a woods gun.
I like it. It has a great trigger, adjustable. Feeds reliably. I wish it used 10 round magazines instead of 5 round mags. I do not shoot much, but it seems pretty accurate. I do not know if the springs are easily changed or what HV ammo would do for long term use. I would think it would be best to stick with standard velocity, since at the distances I am effective with a pistol, I would not think it would make a whole lot of difference. If something does not go well with HV it would be tough to get the gun fixed.

S&W 41 with Randall fung grips
Trusty Rusty, always there for a bit of "Jordan style" fast draw -- no holes in my leg yet!

Looked through all 4 posts and didn't see a NEOS, so here's mine. Ain't the prettiest, but it's done it's part in putting a few bunnies in the pot.

Gotime, I'm sure that's not what we were expecting but WOW! That's a nice picture! Pictures like this, be it for shooting or any other activity, really pull the mind back to the expectations of the day if it's an early morning shot or the satisfaction of a day well spent if it's taken at the end of the fun and frolics.
